Abiola son is greeting you grin grin

That's how you do love in your place grin grin

Some Yorubas and quite notably including the past Ooni of Ife Oba Sijuwade, Babatope and Obasanjo betrayed Abiola and the Yoruba cause but the majority were solidly behind him through thick and thin. The likes of Awujale and Alaafin stood tall for June 12.

This how they have been forcing Yoruba on other tribes in south west.


Many times Aworis tribe, the real owners of Lagos have said they are not Yorubas,yet Yorubas Keep claiming Lagos to the level that none of them identify with their five Yoruba states again.



Everyone from five Yoruba states is now a lagosian grin grin

The Alaafin did not go to Delta to but these people came to the Alaafin themselves but why are people so like these with your hatred of the Yoruba ,you know Aworis are Igbo because they speak the Igbo language abi

Itsekiris are shameless though. You have suffered marginalization but yet got the Guber seat when it was zoned to Delta South despite being the least in population in the district. Na people when not know Delta State go dey listen to una. Check the nominal roll of the Delta State civil service and tell me the tribe that dominates it.
My brother don’t mind this trouble maker of a tribe. For your info they are going from place to place to lobby because of the recent Warri delineation by INEC that prove them to be minority in Warri.Fear shekeri!

Are the aworis nupe or hausa? You're so funny. Even in Benin republic, up to Togo, we have yorubas there as major tribes. Binis once ruled lagos and yes! But it's a fraction of the lagos island called eko by edos. Yoruba aworis owned the mainland. Awori is like ijebu, egba, yewas, etc are all arms of yoruba.

Remo or ijebu is yoruba , the way awori is. Yoruba is the tribe's general name. There are yorubas in edo, the akoko edo is 90% yoruba. My dad's town is split by the river ose from akoko in ondo state. The town only got merged with edo by the virtue of border creation. Same oba ruling on the main town of akoko also rules over my dad's town, same language, same culture, no difference but the boundary.

That said, the itsekiris migrated from, Ondo town, egba and ijebu. Have you listened to Omawumi's song entitled Męgbęle? She saluted Nigerians saying omoo Nigeria dedeeee? The dedeee is is an egba word, meaning everyone or all. If an itsekiri is speaking, I can clearly hear, likewise when we speak. They speak yoruba. But largely, we're all Nigerians

Stop quoting alhaji okunnu wrongly. His name is Femi Okunnu. Is femi hausa name? He's an aworiman and one of those defending tinubu as lagosian before the latter grew wings and hijacked the entire lagos from them

I won't want to say anything negative about them but one thing I know is, if it doesn't about them; the world will never hear word. I was expecting them to protest this SSDC board that the President formed as it is fe usual style but they kept mute.
May God give us peace in Warri.

I can sight the Ndi igbos here who are so bittered because there's no way they can attach themselves to the powerful Yoruba race..
Anyways, any Igbo amaka who wishes to become Yoruba by robbery is free to visit Alaafin palace for a certificate of incorporation

quilty conscience is killing you. You termed it a just war that could have solved all problems of today. How many wars in Africa has solved problems. If anything, countries that have fought wars havent healed a bit.

Why I am right is because what we fought to keep, the Unity, has not produced anything good for the country. You are aware of this, right?
I can only judge what I can see and experienced. We have seen and experienced One Nigeria. It has never worked, is not working and will never work.

The same Itshekiri people have been left to their fate by their so called bigger Yoruba cousins in the current delineation crisis they are facing with the Ijaws and Urhobos...Ijaws and Urhobos have been bullying them for years now and Tinubu and his kinsmen have failed to protect their interest.
What are you saying, Bully who?The delineation was ordered by Supreme Court. The exercise was done based on each community occupied by the 3 tribes in Warri. It’sekiri has the least number of communities in Warri which was clearly shown by the delineation. If you were in doubt , you can come to Warri to .

Some certain set of people will cry blood today for this news.

Even the name Itsekiri is a Yoruba word.


Notice here that different groups are the one tracing their root to Yoruba land. From Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico; they are returning to the Yoruba land, the place of their ancestors and not the gumbody gumbody gumbody that the other group are doing.

Answer first!

Should that now mean you should LIE?

Stop confusing yourself, these are two different things.

Okay let me break it down for you , even though you know and just want to pretend. At the core of other Nigerians distrust of igbos and sometimes hatred toward you is as a result of your unreasonable behavior which leads you to challenging people far more powerful than you , and the results is always A LOSS for you.
If you were not igbo, you will feel exactly the same way others think of igbos. As at Jan 15 1966, igbos were in power, but they want absolute power so they can Lord it over the rest of us
So they plotted a coup and killed the leaders of the other tribes , without killing any igbo leader.
You may argue that wasn't the intention of the coupists, but the fact that no single igbo leader was killed is too hard to explain away as a coincidence
If igbos were at the receiving end ,they too will act the way other tribes are acting .


Anytime we confront your revisionism,the next thing is is Nigeria working?..... You ask because you have shut yourself out , so it won't work for you, whenever our flight is about to take off,you bring up your utopia Biafra agitation to disrupt it...... You don't even know the aim others are using your agitation to achieve but foolishly go about talking trash.

Na poor men dey hate others. All over the world and in Nigeria, Igbos are loved. Infact, over loved across the continent. Stop spreading ur false narrative about a failed a country called Nigeria which u sef wont be proud of.
I am currently dating two yoruba babes and they are madly in love. So, be calmding down and learn to separate emotion from reality.
Igbos lost a war and had serious political isolation for decades. My dad worked with FG and there were many stuff he was denied becus he was Igbo.
It was natural for others outside the South east to distance them selves from the Igbos. It is called phobia.
But like I said, it is getting better now. My generation is digging and researching and people are claiming back their Igbo heritage. So baba, calm down. U dont know me, I dont know u. I am not here to do u guys regular tribalism. It is for the broke and jobless. I am not one. I am a very busy tech bro grin
